Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings reach 3,200 BTC after a $12.5M buy, surpassing Strategy’s latest purchase. The firm secures ¥2B to fund its long-term BTC strategy.
By securing ¥2 billion in zero-interest bonds, Metaplanet is signaling a strong commitment to increasing its Bitcoin holdings, aligning itself with a growing trend of corporations using debt financing to acquire BTC. This move reflects increasing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset.
Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings Expand with $12.5M Purchase
On March 18, 2025, CEO Simon Gerovich of Metaplanet, often dubbed the “Asian Strategy,” announced a fresh Bitcoin acquisition. The firm invested $12.5 million to buy 150 BTC at an average price of $83,508 per coin. This latest purchase marks a significant milestone, as it exceeded Strategy’s recent 130 BTC buy—an unprecedented shift in the corporate Bitcoin accumulation race.
With this acquisition, Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings now total 3,200 BTC, worth approximately $266.2 million. The company’s BTC yield reached 60.8%, reflecting its aggressive strategy to strengthen its Bitcoin treasury.
Metaplanet’s Bond Issuance Fuels Further Bitcoin Investment
To support its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, Metaplanet issued ¥2 billion (around $13.5 million) in zero-interest bonds. The funds will be used to acquire more BTC, aligning with the firm’s ambitious goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
Evo Fund, a consistent backer of Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings strategy, remains the sole buyer of these bonds, signaling strong investor confidence. The latest issuance follows a series of strategic bond sales used to finance previous Bitcoin purchases.
Metaplanet’s Growing Role in the Bitcoin Market
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has positioned it among the top 10 public companies holding BTC, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries. While Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) still dominates with 499,226 BTC, Metaplanet’s rapid acquisitions suggest a growing influence in the corporate Bitcoin space.
Over the past five weeks, Metaplanet has consistently expanded its holdings through multiple strategic purchases. Notable acquisitions include:
- February 17, 2025: 269.43 BTC bought for ¥4 billion.
- February 20, 2025: 68.6 BTC added, marking ownership of 0.01% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
- February 25, 2025: 135 BTC acquired for ¥2 billion.
- March 5, 2025: 497 BTC purchased for $44 million, the largest single buy to date.
- March 12, 2025: 162 BTC added, pushing holdings past 3,000 BTC for the first time.
Despite a slight 0.49% dip in Metaplanet’s stock price to ¥4,030 following its latest BTC acquisition, investor sentiment remains strong. The company’s stock has surged 15.8% year-to-date and skyrocketed 2,458% over the past year, reflecting growing market confidence in its Bitcoin-first strategy.
As Metaplanet continues its path toward 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, its expanding Bitcoin holdings and financial maneuvers underscore its commitment to long-term BTC accumulation, reinforcing its status as a major player in the institutional adoption of Bitcoin.
